We already have a method for determining what to spend money on for the public good. Why have a parallel method that gives only rough guidelines to private, unelected parties?
If people want to donate money to charity, they ought to donate their own money not foregone taxes.
- jacknews 6y agoYou make a better argument than the article, but the implications are that you'd shift charitable activity from the private sector to government. That's not necessarily bad, but having a diversity of aid organizations is better, imho.
